Let’s be real guys. It’s a common thing to pre-game before Christmas these days. It’s the middle of November, and my neighbors are already starting to put up Christmas decorations. what gives!? They say if you can’t beat them, join them. Funny enough, everyone is still obsessed with all things pumpkin spice, but we should give the other holiday delight a chance. What about peppermint, folks? Where’s the love for all things peppermint?

What I love about an alternative like peppermint is that it’s so cool to the taste, andthe current weather in Florida is low 80’s (I really hope that changes soon). While everyone up north may be getting into their hot chocolates and other warm drinks, we are still in super cold beverages mode. I’ve devised a great alternative to keeping cool while simultaneously celebrating the holiday spirit. Some real Florida fun: lawn chairs in the backyard, movie projector, holiday movies and the ultimate peppermint cookies and cream shake courtesy of International Delight.

This is so minty and cold that there’s no way that you wouldn’t get even a slightest chill, even in the Hot Florida fall weather. Stop hogging all the good weather already northerners!

Sili Recio

Sili is an amazing person but the worst at writing bios. Buying up URL's and thinking of business ideas while HGTV plays in the background is her current specialty. She is the proud mother of a 9-year old artist that continues to ask hard hitting questions about 3 minutes before bedtime in spite of Sili purchasing her The Big Book Of Why. Speaking of books, Sili loves them. So much so that Denene Millner Books is publishing her first children's book in the very near future. Most of Sili's friends live in her computer. She motivates them through thinly veiled threats which led her to purchase MotivationalThuggery.com. Sili is the social media director at MomsRising.org and will pay someone to rewrite this bio…with exposure.
